TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[The Jom]

I may be willing to gamble on Hayward if the main piece going out was Hardaway.  The tricky part is Charlotte would not want Hardaway.  He makes much less than Hayward but also goes an extra year longer.   So how about a three team trade:
Levert and Powell goes to Charlotte--Charlotte clears 31 million for next year
Hardaway goes to Cleveland-  Cleveland gets their shooter
Dallas gets Hayward-  This balances out dallas roster a tad if Hayward can stay healthy.  You will probably need to monitor his minutes heavily.  25 minutes a night to start.

Dallas could either go with that roster as it,  or maybe roll the dice more and trade Bullock to the Knicks for the lottery ticket Reddish and a young asset in Sims.

So we’re down to 1 playable center, and you want to throw him into a trade?
